This Is How Your Thoughts Influence Nerves

By Karen Stewart


Overtime, it has been proven that our thoughts and emotions can be able to affect us physically. For example, illnesses like diabetes but they can be escalated when one goes into the state of depression. This means that we can not only treat the physical part of us if it can be affected by the emotional parts of us. The article shows how our thoughts influence nerves.

People always tend to think that the brain and the body are two differently functioning systems but these are organs which work hand in hand with each other. This is however not the case, and we prove it to ourselves time and time again. A good example, remember the last time you went on an interview, you tried to appear as calm as you could but in reality, your heartbeat rate was high, and you were maybe sweating more than usual.

Some states can be both physical and mental both together and differently. For example, you can be alone and be very comfortable or alone and lonely. You may also be with people but be lonely in your thoughts. Although understanding the relationship between our thoughts and physical does not automatically eradicate our problems, it helps us handle ourselves better.

Observe how you react when you get irritated or frustrated. This can be brought about by finding yourself in a helpless position or when someone constantly annoys you despite your warnings. You are bound to be out of breath. Your shoulder and stomach muscles also tend to tighten. This is a physical reaction to an emotional state.

At the time you can get really frustrated or really annoyed depending on what is going on. You may be stuck in traffic for hours which will lead to frustration. Someone may keep interrupting you which may annoy you. You may react the same way towards both. You may express yourself loudly while waving your hands around.

Anger is another emotion with very notable physical reactions which if not controlled can cause harming effects. When someone is angry with you, the first thing is to apologize. Some people tend to run away; others cry while others are left in a state of shock. When it is the opposite, and you are angry with someone, your reaction depends on the person you are. You may scream, shout, bottle it up or walk away.

Memories are also an emotional part that can be physically seen. A good memory will automatically make you laugh or smile. This is because it warms your heart. A bad memory may cause you to shake, sweat or even cry. With the bad memories, observe how your body reacts, look at the places where you will be most tensed up.

In the past, you might have suffered illnesses or injuries that affected you both physically and mentally. If you try recalling them, you may have different reactions. If for example you were hurt in the stomach, you tend to clench it each time the memory surfaces. You may also imagine pain or even relieve it in your head.
